Be With You
By Jeremy Scott

I'm not the same as I once was
My life You've changed eternally
You gave Your son to die for us
It's by Your blood we've been set free

Free!!!!

I wanna be with You, You, You, You
No one can touch my heart like You do, do, do, do
I just wanna be with You
Be where You are
Is where I wanna be

You always stay the same
Yesterday, today
Your word never changes Lord

------------------------------------------------------

God, i wanna be wif u. cuz no1 can touch my heart n change me like U do.

I Need You
By Elvin Foong

You're the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
The strength my soul needs
You're the song that I sing
My hope for tomorrow
No matter what it brings

And where would I be without you
Where would I go without you

I need You
I need You
I need You
I need You

You're the calm in my storm
A refuge in trouble
You're where my help comes from
You cleansed me, forgave me
Saved me and healed me
By the power of the Cross

I need You, no one but You
None beside you, only you

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lord, tt's my prayer... i couldn't find a better way 2 express it.
Lord i need YOU, no one but YOU, none beside YOU, only YOU.

I Give You My All
By Jason Oon

Everything I want, everything I desire
Everything I need i find in you
My source of strength, my source of life
You are the air that I breathe

To you I sing
To you I lift my hands and praise
The one I love
I live for you

I give you my all, I give you everything in me
I give you my heart, I give you all my hopes and dreams

Set me apart for your glory
Use me to tell your story
Set me apart for you my God

Better Is One Day
By Chris Tomlin

How lovely is your dwelling place
Oh Lord almighty
My soul longs and even faints
For you

And here my heart is satisfied
Within your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of
Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see your beauty
To find you in the place your
Glory dwells

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere

saturday, went 4 edge as usual... jeremy seaward continued his series on passion, this time was about getting addicted 2 the presence of God. it realli spoke 2 me.. most of the time, we get addicted to tons of dumb stuff like sms, internet, studies n even premiership football *looks arnd innocently*... yepp... n we tend 2 push aside everytin 2 get 2 those stuff, but r we like tt if the presence of God, wld we give anything juz 2 b in his wonderful presence? is spending one day in the house of God, in his courts, sitting at his feet much better than spending a thousand days elsewhere, doing the things you love? would u do anyting juz 2 get in2 his presence? does God's presence means everything 2 u? like David says in psalms "Lord, do not cast me away from your presence". does being in God's presence mean more than anyting 2 u? ARE YOU ADDICTED TO GOD'S PRESENCE? i hope it's a yes... n does your lifestyle show wat ur addicted 2? does your life contain holiness n prayer?

after the edge, went down 2 orchard, some specialist centre 4 dinner wif parents n bro alfred's family. reach hm 10 plus in time 4 the FA Cup final... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! Man utd totally dominated the game, they were like the better team for 120 stinking minutes! they outplayed arsenal totally, n shld haf won like 4 or 5 nil n rooney should haf scored like 3... but no... they got real unlucky wif the stinking post n lost on penalties... ugh... this time, the better team lost... for sure.. even arsene wenger admits it... at least he admits it... unlike jose mourinho hu claimed tt the best team lost when his chelsea were outplayed by liverpool...

this is gg 2 be a long post, so hang in there

sunday, almost late 4 cw duty 2dae, went lunch at coffeeshop then stay in church. play drums n bass awhile b4 gg 4 some w'ship meeting. didn't wear my belt in e morning so my pants were dropping like crap.. actually had 2 borrow lynette's belt, which wuz stinking tight but at least it kept my pants up... after tt, ta pao char kuay teow 4rom coffeeshop near my hse n went hm 2 eat... figured out some new song.. now watching some show n channel 5.. O Levels in one week... or eight days... can't believe it.. arrgh...

Let The Praises Ring
By Lincoln Brewster

Oh Lord my God in you i put my trust
Oh Lord my God in you i put my hope
Oh Lord my God in you i put my trust
Oh Lord my God in you i put my hope

Indescribable
by Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God You are amazing God
